Best Time For Annapurna Base Camp Helicopter Tour

The Annapurna base camp helicopter day trip is feasible year-round, but it requires clear visibility. The most optimal periods for helicopter journeys to the Annapurna base camp are autumn (September-November) and spring (March-May). These seasons offer clearer skies, ensuring more vivid mountain vistas. As temperatures drop, wildlife descends to lower altitudes, increasing your chances of spotting creatures like the Snow Leopard and Musk Deer. During the monsoon season (July-September), characterized by heavy rainfall, clouds obscure visibility, rendering helicopter flights and landings impractical. In the winter, rapid snowfall and colder weather make the landing area less accessible due to excessive snow accumulation.

Arrival Time

Upon your arrival at Pokhara airport, a seamless transition awaits to transport you to the helicopter tour departure point, ensuring a safe journey to the Himalayan paradise. You'll have approximately half an hour to forty-five minutes for disembarkation, allowing you to enjoy a morning meal in the shadow of Mount Annapurna. Positioned at an elevation of 4,130 meters, the landing location provides an unobstructed panoramic vista of Annapurna-I, Annapurna South, Himchuli, and Machhapuchhre.
